Cross Step To An Outside Blocker:

Push hard with the opposite side leg to the direction you want to move, close to the outside blocker. Land on the leg for breaking, put the other foot down and jump to block, don't drift in the block, and land in the same place as you take off.

The blocker on the outside gets in the correct position. The feeder on the platform throws the ball up and the blocker moves to block. The outside blocker needs to be in front of the feeders hitting arm and both blockers need to be penetrating the net trying to block the ball. Start off easy and feed the players rhythm, as the players get more competent, increase the speed and distance they have to move.

Working on good form and not drifting when jumping. Penetrating the net with their hands and blocking the ball towards 6 on the opponent's side.

Side Step Block:

Simple side-step to block. When blocking, keep hands up and land on the same spot as you take off from.

SMVT:BLOCKING

Block:

A feeder feeds the ball over the net for an attacker to move in. Make an attack approach and hit, while the blocker looks at how the attacker lines up on their approach and jumps and blocks.

Be aware, the feed has to be accurate as you don't want the attacker jumping into the net and injuring the blocker. If you do a bad feed make the hitter realise they should not jump.
